This is the final version of the 4th issue in my series "For Your CONsideration" produced for a 9pm slot each Friday on a Northern California Public Access station.I introduce a new show on the first Friday of each month and challenge myself to better it based off of feedback as the month goes on with the final version set by the final Friday

The October 2009 show is entitled "Pirates" and explores the relationship of the current controversy of the pirates off the Somali coast and the pirates located in corporate board rooms, halls of congress and court rooms across America. Also explores the history of pirates and why they still fascinate us.

In creating this series I use a technique much like collage art/found object but I apply this principle to video and use the internet as my source of magazines and newspapers, etc. Ultimately i hope for the final project to be a sort of surreal poem. This is still a work in progress and in fact I need to give credit to Cheyenne for dressing up like a pirate and saying arrrrr so well, thanks to Cheyenne and Family.
